Source media from your Cloudinary account
Gatsby Source Cloudinary is a powerful tool that seamlessly integrates your Cloudinary media files into the Gatsby data layer. This plugin allows for efficient media management by creating a CloudinaryMedia node for each media file, enabling developers to leverage the full capabilities of Gatsby when working with images and videos. The added functionality of uploading local and remote images directly from your Gatsby project makes managing assets easier and more streamlined.
What sets this community-supported library apart is its compatibility with gatsby-transformer-cloudinary, which adds robust image handling support through gatsby-plugin-image. This combination allows developers to create optimized, responsive images effortlessly, enhancing both performance and user experience on their sites.
